Stargazers have identified a record seven Earth-sized planets circling a solitary star.
The scientists say that every one of the seven could possibly bolster fluid water at first glance, contingent upon alternate properties of those planets.
In any case, just three are inside the customary "tenable" zone where life is viewed as a probability.
The reduced arrangement of exoplanets circles Trappist-1, a low-mass, cool star found 40 light-years from Earth.
The planets were identified utilizing Nasa's Spitzer Space Telescope and a few ground-based observatories are portrayed in the diary Nature.
Where would it be a good idea for us to search for outsider life?

Lead creator Michaël Gillon, from Belgium's University of Liège, stated: "The planets are all near each other and near the star, which is extremely reminiscent of the moons around Jupiter."
"Still, the star is so little and frosty that the seven planets are calm, which implies that they could have some fluid water - and possibly life, by augmentation - at first glance."
Co-creator Amaury Triaud, from the University of Cambridge, UK, said the group had presented the "calm" definition to expand observations about tenability.
Are Earth-like planets really like Earth?
Three of the Trappist-1 planets fall inside the customary tenable zone definition, where surface temperatures could bolster the nearness of fluid water - given adequate air weight.
In any case, Dr Triaud said that if the planet uttermost from the parent star, Trappist-1h, had an air that effectively caught warm - more like Venus' environment than Earth's - it may be livable.
"It would disillusion if Earth speaks to the main format for tenability in the Universe," he told the BBC News site.

Such a large number of planets have been found in planetary frameworks past our own particular that it's anything but difficult to wind up distinctly inured to their potential criticalness. Nasa's most recent count is a noteworthy 3,449 and there's a peril of buildup with each new declaration.
However, the fervor around this most recent revelation is not just in view of its strange scale or the way that so a significant number of the planets are Earth-sized. It is additionally in light of the fact that the star Trappist-1 is helpfully little and diminish. This implies telescopes concentrate the planets are not astonished as they would be when going for far brighter stars.
Thusly that opens up an intriguing road of research into these removed universes and, most importantly, their climates.
The following period of research has as of now chased for key gasses like oxygen and methane which could give prove about whatever is going on at first glance.
Scope of exoplanets can unreasonably effectively jump to decisions about outsider life. In any case, this remote planetary framework provides a decent opportunity to search for pieces of information about it.
The six inward planets have orbital periods that are sorted out in a "close resounding chain". This implies in the time that it takes for the deepest planet to make eight circles, the second, third and fourth planets spin five, three and two circumstances around the star, individually.
This seems, by all accounts, to be a result of associations ahead of schedule in the advancement of the planetary framework.
The cosmologists say it ought to be conceivable to concentrate the planets' barometrical properties with telescopes.
"The James Webb Space Telescope, Hubble's successor, will have the likelihood to recognize the mark of ozone if this particle is available in the air of one of these planets," said co-writer Prof Brice-Olivier Demory, from the University of Bern in Switzerland.
"This could be a pointer for natural action on the planet."
In any case, the astrophysicist likewise cautions that we should remain amazingly cautious about gathering organic movement from a far distance.
A portion of the properties of cool, low mass stars could make life an all the more difficult prospect. For instance, some are known to transmit a lot of radiation as flares, which can possibly disinfect the surfaces of adjacent planets.
What's more, the livable zone is found nearer to the star so planets get the warming fundamental for fluid water to endure. In any case, this causes a wonder called tidal locking, so that planets dependably demonstrate a similar face to their star.
This may have the impact of making one side of the planet hot, and the other icy.
Be that as it may, Amaury Triaud said UV light may be indispensable for delivering the concoction aggravates that can later be collected into organic frameworks. Also, if life rises on the lasting night side of a tidally bolted planet, it may be shielded from any flares.
Yet, he said the Trappist-1 star was not especially dynamic, something it has just the same as other "ultra cool smaller people" the group has studied.
"Any reasonable person would agree there is much we don't have a clue. Where I am cheerful is that we will know whether flares are imperative, we will know whether tidal locking is pertinent to tenability and possibly to the development of science," he clarified.
"A significant number of the contentions in support or disapproval of tenability can be flipped in that way. Most importantly we require perceptions."
Notwithstanding the Spitzer perceptions, stargazers assembled information utilizing Very Large Telescope in Chile, the Liverpool Telescope in La Palma, Spain, and others.
